With less than a week until the Blues begin their defence of the Premier League title, the future of the striker who played a huge role in that success is still up in the air.
Despite being told he’s surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge as well as not featuring at all over the course of pre-season, Costa remains at the club – although he’s been heavily linked with a return to former club Atletico Madrid.
However, with the La Liga side currently serving a transfer ban they aren’t allowed to register any new players until January – thus meaning Costa would have to sit out the first-half of the new campaign should he rejoin his old club.
Prior to Costa’s move to west London he was linked with a move to Anfield and Reds legend Thompson is hoping his former club will reignite interest in the Spain international.
“Dare I say it: Diego Costa signs for Atletico Madrid and then gets loaned out to Liverpool?,” he told the Irish Examiner.
“It would be quite a dream, wouldn’t it? I’d take him for six months.
“Going back three or four years when Liverpool were in for Costa, I think we offered £20m.
‘They’d have frightened everybody’
“It was £25m and the deal never got done. I was amazed. If we’d have had Suarez and Diego Costa, God, they’d have frightened everybody.
“You love these players. Every other supporter moans at them but you know as a Chelsea fan how much Costa will fight for you, do the battling for you. Good skills too. Good technique.
“Is [Alvaro] Morata going to be [as effective] when you get into battles in the Premier League?
“It didn’t matter whether you were playing against Hull City or Manchester United, you knew what you’d get off Costa.”
........This is Anfield
